FCC Information This instruction manual is part of this product and should be kept in a safe place for future reference. It contains important information on setup and operation. 1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Bios Weather Home Weather Station (HWS) for Television or PC Interface. Developed with state of the art technology and digital electronics, this device provides instant readouts of the weather conditions around you. To understand how to properly install and program your weather station, please read this instruction manual carefully and keep it in a safe place. This product is intended for use at home. It has not been designed for scientific or commercial applications. IMPORTANT: Before setting up your HWS, you should first decide which interface you would like to use to view the weather readings. To set up the HWS for PC please refer to the Weather Analyzer Software Instruction Manual enclosed with this unit. To set up the HWS for television please continue on with this instruction manual. 2. SAFETY NOTES • Damage caused by failure to comply with this instruction manual will invalidate any warranty! The manufacturer and supplier will not be held liable for any damages due to failure to comply with this product! • In case of harm or damage to a person or property caused by improper handling or failure to comply with this instruction manual, the manufacturer and supplier cannot be held liable. • For reason of safety and operation, alteration to this device is strictly prohibited. • To operate the weather station, use only supplied adaptor and batteries of the recommended type. • Do not leave discharged batteries in the device as these may corrode and release chemicals that may damage the unit. • Do not dispose of new or used batteries in a fire as they may explode or release dangerous chemicals into the environment. • This product is not to be used for medical purposes or for public information. 2 3. FUNCTION AND FEATURES FOR TELEVISION AND PC A. Indoor Receiver • The indoor receiver measures the indoor temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and receives weather data from the thermometer-transmitter sensor, wind sensor, and rain gauge sensor. • Displays time and date • Displays indoor and outdoor temperature in Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C) -- user selectable • Displays indoor relative humidity (RH%) • Displays barometric (air) pressure reading in inches or millibars (mb) of mercury (inHg) -- user selectable • Displays cumulative rainfall data since last reset in inches (in) or centimeters (cm) – user selectable • Displays wind speed and gust in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km) -- user selectable • Wind direction display with compass as well as numerical (e.g. 225°) and abbreviated characters (e.g. NE) • Wind chill temperature in Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C) -- user selectable • Displays weather forecast using weather icons (sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy or rainy) • Barometric trend chart in inches of mercury (inHg) or millibars (mb) -- user selectable • Indoor and outdoor temperature alarms that are set by the user (PC only) NOTE: To view the image of the screen on the PC please refer to the "Weather Analyzer Software Instruction Manual" enclosed with this unit (Section 7: Using the Weather Analyzer Software). B. Thermometer-Transmitter Sensor The data from the outdoor sensor is transmitted every 128 seconds to bring you the latest weather information which is displayed on the television screen or PC (updating information faster is prohibited by FCC criteria and would drastically reduce battery life). The thermometer-transmitter sensor connects to the wind and rain sensors via insulated cables, whereby power and weather information is transferred. The collected data is then transmitted by the thermometer-transmitter back to the indoor receiver wirelessly. Weather data is sent from the thermometer-transmitter sensor by radio signal at 433MHz (up to 60 yards / 60 meters, approximately 200 feet, in open space). The thermometer-transmitter sensor consists of the main unit, rain protection cover and base bracket. Power Adaptor: a special transmitter adaptor is available to supply power to the transmitter rather than using batteries. It is a perfect solution for your HWS during extremely cold temperatures in the winter months when batteries may cause problems.
